According to Merriam Webster’s definition of deliverance, deliverance is the act of delivering someone or something. It is the state of being delivered, especially, LIBERATION or RESCUE.

One of the big problems happening is that many are seeking deliverance, often from demons and other forms of bondage, yet most deliverance ministries lack the true ability to bring about liberation. Instead the captives condition may actually worsen, especially with instant attempts to deliver the person without diligently creating modules and steps to prepare for deliverance.

There’s also countless other problems, for example a big one is that the person conducting the deliverance may not even have the ability to do so in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. This is due to untold millions that have false conversions. Pastor Pam Sheppard thoroughly explains why all this is happening and much more in her book, Be Delivered From Deliverance Ministry. It’s a can’t miss book for all who have been involved some how with deliverance ministries. 

Pastor Pam has been in ministry for 37 years and has come into contact with many clients who have went to deliverance ministries or went to a church that does deliverances, yet they came out even more tormented by demons from when they started.

Kathy’s testimony is an excellent example of the stark difference between the experience she had when going to a church who tried to deliver her from  demonic activities to when she went to Pastor Pam for help and received outstanding outcomes from her:

I’d been a visitor to many different churches in my years growing up and eventually I became  a member of a non-denominational charismatic church.   Although my personal life was very busy, I did manage to get involved in a number of different ministries that I enjoyed.  I developed some very valuable friendships and had some marvelous experiences.  I had to become born again to become a church member. Therefore, I believed that I was born again because a few times I’ prayed the, “Sinner’s Prayer,”asking Jesus to, “come into my heart,” to be my Lord and Savior and forgive me of my sins.  I had even been baptized.

But through the years, I always felt there was something, “missing,” something that wasn’t quite right.  I figured it was my lack of faith, or perhaps a troubling relationship that was dogging me.  For years my mother and I had a loving, but contentious and challenging relationship which always caused me a great deal of anxiety.  Incidentally, if you knew me, you knew my anxieties.  I was a well-known, “worry-wart,” from way back.  When I was younger, my teachers teased me about it and when I was in college my friends created a song about it.  Although one of the main tenets of the Christian faith was that one should have complete trust and confidence in God, in this case, my mind was in total defiance.  It was a bafflement to those who knew me that I could trust God for my eternity but not for my day-to-day life, which didn’t make any sense.

As a young teen, I was introduced to the occult through horoscopes, astrology and the Ouija board.  In time as I got older, my interests expanded to include psychic readings and books on witchcraft.  I’d even taken a college course on Satanism where the satanic bible was required reading.  I eventually found that this realm was nothing to play around with.  I started having weird experiences of seeing objects move without their being touched, seeing floating orbs and other phenomena in the darkness of my room as well as having troubling, recurring dreams.  And in addition to this, I also carried around a “spiritual corpse,” of guilt, regrets and anxiety that I could not get rid of no matter what I did.  It was always there in the background, if not in the foreground, tripping me up.  I called it a corpse because I likened it to a dead corpse that was tied to my leg that I had to drag around.  My mind was always churning with tension, worry, frustrations, helplessness and hopelessness that I constantly fought against.  I needed help to make all of this stop.

So I looked to the church for freedom.

From the leadership of the church I attended I sought answers as to how to get free from what I felt was a demonic grip on me.  The answers I found did not satisfy and I was given the impression that the clergy didn’t believe that the enemy could actually harass people.  So, I started trolling Christian bookstores for books on Spiritual Warfare.  I’d read through and purchased as many as I could.  Many of them offered different types of prayers against the workings of the enemy—none of which I found particularly helpful, but I kept searching. I began to visit different churches that featured deliverance ministries, most notably those that were actually used to dealing with the enemy.  One church had the congregation do various things like walk through salt, or drink, “blessed,” water, they dispensed vials of “blessed” oil to anoint objects in your home, etc.  And although this particular church advertised its success at freeing people from curses and difficulties in their lives which was evidenced by  new jobs, cars and houses, it never did a thing for me.  I continued to seek out deliverance ministers who, in the end, simply could not help me.  I only found myself going deeper into the hole from which I sought to escape.  I wouldn’t find out until years later that it wasn’t my anxieties, troubles, or my dabbling in the occult that was the issue.  What I had were only the symptoms of a deeper issue. I had the mistaken notion that my being, “born again,” meant that the devil could not touch me.  But I learned that I’d had a, “false conversion.”  I was never truly born again.  THAT was the problem.  But I’m getting ahead of myself here.

One night, I decided that I’d try just one more time to find a deliverance-“something,” and looked online and saw the name, Pam Sheppard and the word, “deliverance.”  I clicked on it and never looked back.  It was the best decision I’d ever made!

Pastor Pam does not play.  She takes these matters very seriously and comes out like gangbusters!  The first thing Pastor Pam took me to task for was on my need to follow Paul’s admonition to, “examine yourself to see if you’re truly in the faith.”  After a simply review based on questions she asked, I had to admit that I was not.  I soon learned from Pastor Pam that mine was a false conversion.  I was not Born Again—no matter how many times I’d prayed those prayers.  This realization was very sobering, and of course, the first thought was, “oh no, I’m goin’ to hell—I’m not covered, I’m doomed!”
This, though, was just the beginning.  As a result of this revelation, she advised me to stop going to church, stop reading the Bible and to stop praying!  This was radical!!  But it made sense because I had to start from ground zero.  I had to be stripped clean of all my religious practices, ideas and beliefs and start with a clean slate.  She patiently worked with me along with a coach Pastor Pam assigned to guide  me through various videos on just what was going on in the institutional church and what Christianity had developed into.  I had to unlearn a lot of mixed and false doctrine and misinformation. I finally know and understand that there is no such thing as currying favor with God by the amount of money you give to the church, there is no such thing as being more spiritual or closer to God because you speak in tongues, or the number of ministries in which you’re involved.   You’re not more blessed by God because you have a new car, house, or job.  And there is no such thing as using money to, “sow a seed.”
And there’s plenty more.  Pastor Pam was always quick to cut to the meat of an issue, to get out of you the truth of a situation, and to get truth into you.  She taught me the importance of looking within myself to determine if there was any secret sin, anything at all that the enemy could “hook,” into that the enemy  might use to try and block me from my salvation.  So, I was always mindful of that.  In time Pastor Pam invited me to join the fellowship she’s started named, “Rescue.”  Through Pastor Pam I received valuable counseling, coaching and mentoring in addition to a lot of knowledge and understanding through her books, and workshops.  I was fully supported in my pursuit of spiritual freedom.

The more truth I learned the more freedom I gained, and as a result, the enemy had to loosen his grip on me because I was becoming more and more undeceived from hi lies.  I recently came to repentance after a sermon that Pastor Pam had given at a her July 2018 workshop that she hosted in New York. During the sermon,   The Holy Spirit fell upon me —-piercing my heart with the knowledge of my sinful nature.  He took  me straight to the cross where I repented in wrenching sobs and tears.  It was a rousing sermon on the Gospel, (the full, unadulterated, nothing added to it, nothing taken away, simple Gospel, much like what Peter had done where the focus was entirely on Jesus Christ of Nazareth). The next day, while Pastor Pam was teaching,  I had another visitation from the Holy Spirit who then took me to that empty tomb and filled me with the glory of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and I became truly Born Again.  In seconds, that, “corpse,” of misery I’d carried for so very long, was gone.  Vanquished.  Every troubling memory and thought—gone.  I am no longer in despair.  I am spiritually, mentally and emotionally free.  I am chuckling as I write this because the fact of this still amazes and tickles me.

There is no sinner’s prayer that can compare to the work of the Holy Spirit.  Upon hearing the Gospel preached, if the Holy Spirit decides that this is the time of your visitation, He will lead you to the cross and pierce your heart with the knowledge of your fullness of sin in spite of your goodness, niceness, helpfulness, great intellect, skill, money—or anything else you hold dear.  This powerful revelation tears your heart open.  Again, this is a work of the Holy Spirit, not your mind, your will, not your prayer.  Then, as the Word of God says, “…though tears may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning.”  Some time soon after your, “dark night of the soul,” with the realization of your sin and repentance, and as the Holy Spirit wills and leads, He takes you to that empty tomb.  He reveals to you the Resurrected Jesus Christ of Nazareth where there are no adequate words to describe your, “down into the marrow of your bones,” praise of Him, your joy, exuberance and marvel at His magnificence not to mention, your gratitude!  He conquered sin and death and lives in an immortal flesh and bone body, and is sitting now at the right hand of the Father.  He is alive!

My revelation is that there is nothing of the workings of salvation that is dependent upon my own hands.  No matter how sincere our  tears, we cannot muster up our  own salvation by praying a prayer.  Neither ourselves, nor our hearts , (which the Word says is desperately wicked), can serve as a substitute for the work of the Holy Spirit.  We cannot exercise feelings of Godly sorrow on our own—for this has nothing to do with what we did last night, last week or last year.  Godly sorrow, as led  by the Holy Spirit, encompasses everything that we are.

This is a spiritual transaction based on His work in you, not you, “deciding,” upon the salvation that you want from Him.  My testimony confirms that  there is hope and salvation for anyone who has had a false conversion.  Again, to all who are reading my testimony, there is hope for you—let go of the old—that is, man’s traditions, and be willing to take a step back and look again, but with fresh eyes.

Because of all that I’ve gained I have to believe that it was an angel of the Lord Himself who had directed me to  Pam Sheppard’s website and started me on the path to spiritual freedom and salvation in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  I am so thankful to Pastor Pam for her walk of faithfulness and for her friendship.  If you have a question about any aspect of Christianity, your church, or your walk of faith, I encourage you to contact Pam Sheppard.  It may be the most important decision you will ever make.  It certainly was for me!

The Soul and False Conversion

HOW A FALSE CONVERSION OCCURS

Because the spirit and the soul are not separate but  tightly knitted or braided  around each other as are  the ligaments, marrow and joints in our legs, it is difficult to discern the difference between the two.  The soul is easiest to recognize because the concerns and needs of “self” are generally apparent.  We recognize the “body” side of the soul because we can see the results through the activity of the natural frame.  We can see selfishness, ambition, competition, and jealousy  because the body,  through material and natural things, will engage in scenarios that expose self striving.   

However, where we fall short is in our ability  to discern the soul from the spirit, which is also “flesh.” I am considering a gospel account of the words of the Lord when a funeral procession went by. He turned to his disciples and said, “let the dead bury the dead.”  How can the dead bury the dead? What Jesus was actually saying is “let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead.” Meaning: those who are alive in both the body and the soul have a dead spirit.  A dead spirit is one that is separated, alienated, and without God in the world.  That is a dead spirit.  It doesn’t mean that there is no awareness or activity in the spirit.

The spirit of the lost is very much alive in the kingdom of darkness, but he or she is alienated from the kingdom of heaven. It makes itself known through various nightmares and irrational fears.  When it is active, man’s dead spirit is open to the hellish dark world of spirits ruled over by the Prince of darkness. When it is both active AND powerful, the spirit is capable of a variety of supernatural feats including but not limited to clairvoyance, clairaudience and astral travel or out of body experiences.

When a lost or alienated person “accepts Jesus” as Lord and Savior, it can’t be the spirit who does so because the spirit  of that person is dead, alienated, and walking according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that works in those who are disobedient by the lust of their flesh.  In such a condition, the soul has to take over.  In the lost, the soul fulfills the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the lost person has the nature of self consciousness.

So since a dead spirit cannot “accept God,” the soul takes over in its parts: mind, emotions and volition or will and says, “I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior” and begins a religious ritual that imitates intimacy and relationship. The working of the enemy through the mind or ideas of man quenches the work of the Holy Ghost to quicken that person’s spirit.  For the powers of darkness are keenly clever in working alongside of and simulating the born again experience.

When a person is REALLY born again, the soul takes a back seat.  The Holy Ghost “quickens” the spirit through repentance. As defined by Paul to the Ephesians, to quicken means to be made alive.  As Jesus Christ was raised from the dead physically or bodily, to be born again is to be raised from the dead spiritually. In other words, a dead spirit has been raised to becoming a vessel for the Holy Ghost.  Since the spirit does not have a will, volition is a choice or decision made by the soul.  What the spirit has is intuition. Paul revealed that the reason the spirit is raised from the dead is because “God is rich in mercy.” So the resurrection of the spirit begins in the intuition and then translated into  understanding  by the soul.

When the soul “accepts Jesus,” the spirit remains dead but with great acting skills, the soul can religiously  imitate the things of God. The fallen spirit of man, alienated and separated from God is sunk down into the soul so that the soul manifests as intellect or sensuality, often in both. In such cases, the soul reigns over both the spirit and the body. The way that the new life reaches the spirit is shown in the Lord’s own words: You must be born again.  The Holy Ghost “breathes” where ever He chooses. This is not the decision of man but the will of God.

The believer who has been raised from the dead in the spirit to newness of like is born of the Spirit or “born again.” The Holy Ghost, who takes up a dwelling place in the reborn spirit, has given the believer a revelation of the Cross and the Lord’s resurrection. This revelation is first received in the spirit. As James indicates in his letter, the wisdom that is from above—from the Holy Spirit—is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful—without any element of the life of the soul—opinions, self views, strife-jealousy. So when a person is born again, the spirit imparts  understanding  to the soul through the mind, will and the emotions.

What is happening among those who claim that “they accepted Jesus,” is that they have done so through the soul and therefore, their spirits have remained dead.  The intellect of one whose spirit is dead is decidedly fallible and becomes the most dangerous of the soul’s gifts because God seekers use their minds to understand spiritual truths.  The scriptures reveal that the soulish man cannot receive the things of the Spirit, because they can only be spiritually discerned.

According to the late great Jessie Penn Lewis, “It is the soulish element in teachers and professors of holiness, which is often the cause of separation and disunion.  There may be, it is true, love in the heart to those who ‘differ,’ but the ‘differences’ divide nevertheless, because the demoniacal powers, able to work upon the soulish element in the believer, always emphasize or exaggerate the difference in “views of truth,” instead of magnifying the points of union, and even drive eager believers to ‘fight’ for their view of ‘truth,‘ under the name of ‘witnessing for God.” It is also the soulish element in Christians which insists upon the minute correspondence of others its ‘views of truth,’ and ‘tithe mint and anise and cumin’, in words whilst leaving ‘undone the weightier matters of the law’—which in the gospel dispensation of the Spirit between believers as the condition of their growth into ‘unity of the faith. ‘In brief, the soul-life, influenced by evil supernatural powers, is the main cause of divisions and separation among the professing, and even the true children of God.”

For this reason as pointed out by Sis. Jessie, the churches are filled with nominal worshippers of Christ, who show no marks of a true Christian life within them. In a nutshell, influences that bypass the spirit and only reach the soul may prepare the way by bringing the seeker within the reach of the truth which is read from the scriptures.  Outer strivings may make for a kind  self righteousness that  has a value and place in the world.  However, by virtue of these outer trappings, such seekers  will be fooled into believing that the strivings of the soul is evidence that he or she is born again.  Not so.  Since God views self righteous as filthy rags, the spirits of such seekers is untouched. Dead.  Alienated.  Without God.

Those whose souls imitate salvation are diversified.  Dynamic personalities   sway and move the emotions of others.  Their fruit—like TD Jakes for example—is to move the emotions of the soul.  The problem is that the faith of the hearers stands in the influence or wisdom of people like TD, and not in the power of God.  Intellectuals uses schemes to reach men and bring them to God, some preaching hell and damnation to frighten people to God, others using heaven, prosperity, gospelfests, social fellowship, networking  etc.

The outcome is that people are attracted to the fake Jesus, and not of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. What happens is a dangerous thing, so dangerous, that I will have to address it in more detail Part III. Suffice it to say for now, that people who are deceived into believing that they got born again, STILL have a dead spirit.  When dead, the spirit is susceptible to the evil side of the spirit world where psychic power is mistaken for the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Consequently, unsaved people are speaking in tongues, laying hands on others, imparting demons into vulnerable people.  Also, when people with dead spirits pray to the Father in the name of His Son, the one who answers their prayers is the imposter, the Fake Jesus.

Can a person whose spirit has been quickened STILL allow his or her soul to dominate?  Most decidedly YES. These are those who have a sensual relationship with Jesus.  When they speak of “being in His presence,” they are not satisfied unless they can feel the presence of God continually upon their flesh, and almost bi-polar in the spirit, they experience loads of ups and downs akin to spiritual mood swings.  They need to be taught how to walk by faith and not by sight or feeling.  Although the Holy Spirit dwells in their spirits, they often allow the soul to predominate because they do not understand the spirit life and the actions of the human spirit in co-action with God.

As James indicates in his letter, the wisdom that is from above—from the Holy Spirit—is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful—without any element of the life of the soul—opinions, self views, strife-jealousy. So when a person is born again, the spirit imparts  understanding  to the soul through the mind, will and the emotions.

What is happening among those who claim that “they accepted Jesus,” is that they have done so through the soul and therefore, their spirits have remained dead.  The intellect of one whose spirit is dead is decidedly fallible and becomes the most dangerous of the soul’s gifts because God seekers use their minds to understand spiritual truths.  The scriptures reveal that the soulish man cannot receive the things of the Spirit, because they can only be spiritually discerned.

According to the late great Jessie Penn Lewis, “It is the soulish element in teachers and professors of holiness, which is often the cause of separation and disunion.  There may be, it is true, love in the heart to those who ‘differ,’ but the ‘differences’ divide nevertheless, because the demoniacal powers, able to work upon the soulish element in the believer, always emphasize or exaggerate the difference in “views of truth,” instead of magnifying the points of union, and even drive eager believers to ‘fight’ for their view of ‘truth,‘ under the name of ‘witnessing for God.” It is also the soulish element in Christians which insists upon the minute correspondence of others its ‘views of truth,’ and ‘tithe mint and anise and cumin’, in words whilst leaving ‘undone the weightier matters of the law’—which in the gospel dispensation of the Spirit between believers as the condition of their growth into ‘unity of the faith. ‘In brief, the soul-life, influenced by evil supernatural powers, is the main cause of divisions and separation among the professing, and even the true children of God.”

For this reason as pointed out by Sis. Jessie, the churches are filled with nominal worshippers of Christ, who show no marks of a true Christian life within them. In a nutshell, influences that bypass the spirit and only reach the soul may prepare the way by bringing the seeker within the reach of the truth which is read from the scriptures.  Outer strivings may make for a kind  self righteousness that  has a value and place in the world.  However, by virtue of these outer trappings, such seekers  will be fooled into believing that the strivings of the soul is evidence that he or she is born again.  Not so.  Since God views self righteous as filthy rags, the spirits of such seekers is untouched. Dead.  Alienated.  Without God.

Those whose souls imitate salvation are diversified.  Dynamic personalities   sway and move the emotions of others.  Their fruit—like TD Jakes for example—is to move the emotions of the soul.  The problem is that the faith of the hearers stands in the influence or wisdom of people like TD, and not in the power of God.  Intellectuals uses schemes to reach men and bring them to God, some preaching hell and damnation to frighten people to God, others using heaven, prosperity, gospelfests, social fellowship, networking  etc.

The outcome is that people are attracted to the fake Jesus, and not of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. What happens is a dangerous thing, so dangerous, that I will have to address it in more detail Part III. Suffice it to say for now, that people who are deceived into believing that they got born again, STILL have a dead spirit.  When dead, the spirit is susceptible to the evil side of the spirit world where psychic power is mistaken for the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Consequently, unsaved people are speaking in tongues, laying hands on others, imparting demons into vulnerable people.  Also, when people with dead spirits pray to the Father in the name of His Son, the one who answers their prayers is the imposter, the Fake Jesus.

Can a person whose spirit has been quickened STILL allow his or her soul to dominate?  Most decidedly YES. These are those who have a sensual relationship with Jesus.  When they speak of “being in His presence,” they are not satisfied unless they can feel the presence of God continually upon their flesh, and almost bi-polar in the spirit, they experience loads of ups and downs akin to spiritual mood swings.  They need to be taught how to walk by faith and not by sight or feeling.  Although the Holy Spirit dwells in their spirits, they often allow the soul to predominate because they do not understand the spirit life and the actions of the human spirit in co-action with God.

The Soul and False Conversion

By Pastor Pam

HOW A FALSE CONVERSION OCCURS

Because the spirit and the soul are not separate but  tightly knitted or braided  around each other as are  the ligaments, marrow and joints in our legs, it is difficult to discern the difference between the two.  The soul is easiest to recognize because the concerns and needs of “self” are generally apparent.  We recognize the “body” side of the soul because we can see the results through the activity of the natural frame.  We can see selfishness, ambition, competition, and jealousy  because the body,  through material and natural things, will engage in scenarios that expose self striving.   

However, where we fall short is in our ability  to discern the soul from the spirit, which is also “flesh.” I am considering a gospel account of the words of the Lord when a funeral procession went by. He turned to his disciples and said, “let the dead bury the dead.”  How can the dead bury the dead? What Jesus was actually saying is “let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead.” Meaning: those who are alive in both the body and the soul have a dead spirit.  A dead spirit is one that is separated, alienated, and without God in the world.  That is a dead spirit.  It doesn’t mean that there is no awareness or activity in the spirit.

The spirit of the lost is very much alive in the kingdom of darkness, but he or she is alienated from the kingdom of heaven. It makes itself known through various nightmares and irrational fears.  When it is active, man’s dead spirit is open to the hellish dark world of spirits ruled over by the Prince of darkness. When it is both active AND powerful, the spirit is capable of a variety of supernatural feats including but not limited to clairvoyance, clairaudience and astral travel or out of body experiences.

When a lost or alienated person “accepts Jesus” as Lord and Savior, it can’t be the spirit who does so because the spirit  of that person is dead, alienated, and walking according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that works in those who are disobedient by the lust of their flesh.  In such a condition, the soul has to take over.  In the lost, the soul fulfills the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the lost person has the nature of self consciousness.

So since a dead spirit cannot “accept God,” the soul takes over in its parts: mind, emotions and volition or will and says, “I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior” and begins a religious ritual that imitates intimacy and relationship. The working of the enemy through the mind or ideas of man quenches the work of the Holy Ghost to quicken that person’s spirit.  For the powers of darkness are keenly clever in working alongside of and simulating the born again experience.

When a person is REALLY born again, the soul takes a back seat.  The Holy Ghost “quickens” the spirit through repentance. As defined by Paul to the Ephesians, to quicken means to be made alive.  As Jesus Christ was raised from the dead physically or bodily, to be born again is to be raised from the dead spiritually. In other words, a dead spirit has been raised to becoming a vessel for the Holy Ghost.  Since the spirit does not have a will, volition is a choice or decision made by the soul.  What the spirit has is intuition. Paul revealed that the reason the spirit is raised from the dead is because “God is rich in mercy.” So the resurrection of the spirit begins in the intuition and then translated into  understanding  by the soul.

When the soul “accepts Jesus,” the spirit remains dead but with great acting skills, the soul can religiously  imitate the things of God. The fallen spirit of man, alienated and separated from God is sunk down into the soul so that the soul manifests as intellect or sensuality, often in both. In such cases, the soul reigns over both the spirit and the body. The way that the new life reaches the spirit is shown in the Lord’s own words: You must be born again.  The Holy Ghost “breathes” where ever He chooses. This is not the decision of man but the will of God.

The believer who has been raised from the dead in the spirit to newness of like is born of the Spirit or “born again.” The Holy Ghost, who takes up a dwelling place in the reborn spirit, has given the believer a revelation of the Cross and the Lord’s resurrection. This revelation is first received in the spirit. As James indicates in his letter, the wisdom that is from above—from the Holy Spirit—is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful—without any element of the life of the soul—opinions, self views, strife-jealousy.

Written by: Tee

People who worship the Fake Jesus (Jesus Sananda Immanuel), MOST OF WHOM ARE MOST CHURCHGOING FOLKS WHO CLAIM TO BE SAVED, are by far, the MOST DIFFICULT to reach. Why? Because he has them so fooled that they actually think that the Jesus they are serving is the true Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and NOBODY CAN TELL THEM DIFFERENT. With all of his trickery, they don’t realize that they are serving a religious counterfeit, and often become heavily offended when their salvation is challenged.

Sananda is so clever that he uses what works with people: miracles, signs, wonders, warm-fuzzy feelings, and a LACK OF FAITH IN THE TRUTH. He preys on a person’s desperation for seeing to believe, since he knows that they have no faith. Faith on the power of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the most powerful weapon we have against the enemy. If he can steal your faith, he can win you over.

The more allegiance you have to Sananda, the more he can block you from seeing the truth, which can therefore block your salvation. When I had a false conversion, I did not make an invitation to Sananda. If I did, I would have been in demonic torment. I suppose that because of the fact that I never engaged in any practices that had me inviting Jesus into my heart, and therefore had no demons. So my salvation therefore was not blocked. It was easy for me to receive the truth, and I did not become offended when Pam challenged my salvation.

The more I heard Pam preach the gospel to me, the more I began to see it, and the more I wanted even more truth. My FAITH on the power of the cross and resurrection was being developed. Once I received that faith, the Holy Spirit was able to do His work!

Anyone who has said the sinners prayer, prayed Jesus into their heart, or somehow engaged in a practice that involved calling on Jesus or chanting for Jesus to come to them is at risk of being demonized. YOU DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE REAL JESUS CHRIST!!! Why you ask? Because Jesus Christ is not a spirit hovering around, waiting for us to beckon him. He is sitting at the right hand of the father in HUMAN FORM.

When Jesus Christ resurrected, he appeared before Mary Magdalene and other disciples to show them this very fact, so that they can see that he came back to life in his own body, and then ascended to heaven in that body. Yet this one very important aspect of the gospel is being watered down and dispelled all throughout the organized church!!!! Why? Because the enemy knows that people are so caught up in lusting after supernatural experiences that they will even ignore the very truth in order to get their supernatural fix. Think about it: how often do people go to church talking about “the presence,” and how much they want to “experience God?” FOR WHAT???? It’s all about THEM!!! It’s all about SELF-EDIFICATION. What in the world does that have to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ? NOTHING.

People lack faith in the power of God, so they lust after the supernatural in order to find a reason or a way to believe in his power…when the power that they are seeking after is actually the power of the devil…nothing different than what psychics and mediums do…just in a different environment.

The Lord’s Message To End-time Believers Within His Parables: Who Are The Foolish Virgins?

By Pastor Pam Sheppard 

For two centuries, believers have not really understood the Lord’s parables, probably because they were really meant for end-time believers.

Consider  the parable of the ten virgins—-5 wise and 5 foolish in Matthew 25. In this chapter, the Lord is still answering the question posed  to Him concerning the end of the age in Matthew 24.  Clearly this is true  because this parable is  really about the return of the bridegroom for His bride, the church. The Lord is the Bridegroom to His Body, the church.. In this instance, the church is not the institution and its various branches or denominations, but to all who are born again. To those who have oil in their lamps.

So the underlying messages is to the foolish versions,who  were invited to the wedding, but they came unprepared. For if the bridegroom had come at night, the darkness of the woods would have engulfed them  and therefore could not even see an arms length in front of them. So this parable is also about discernment and enlightenment in dark times.

I  Suspect that the foolish virgins are those who in these present times have experienced a false conversion.  They are foolish because they  believe that they are born again, but they are not because “they have no oil in their lamps.” These are perhaps the same people who Jesus describes as having prophesied and cast out demons on His name but are among those that He never knew. (Matthew 7:21-23)

The endtime generation of believers live in the church age of Laodicea. As Foolish virgins, they say in their  hearts that they  are rich and in need of nothing, while they  uplift the damnable heresy known as the prosperity gospel. To many of the foolish believers in the 7th and last church age of Laodicea before the Bridegroom comes,  are so deceived that they must  not  only buy oil but  also gold  that has been tried in the fire. (Rev 3:17-19). In other words, their  false conversions must be put to the test to see if it’s wood, hay or stubble that fires will quickly expose, consume and destroy whatever is counterfeit. (1 Corinthians 3:12-14)

Most of the foolish virgins are in the church today. Many are professing Christians who are in good standing in their churches because they have passed institutional tests like water baptism,tithing and speaking in tongues.  Yet they have been deceived  because from the beginning of their spiritual walk, THEY HAD NO OIL.

Sadly, it was a foolish solution to depend upon church membership and affiliation, leaving a sincere seeker completely unprepared for the return of the Bridegroom, who returns to marry a Bride without spot or blemish. To be without spot or blemish  is to be born again,not  by man’s acceptance of the bridegroom, but through redemption, sanctification and justificaction  as set into motion by the Holy Spirit when He leads us to the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Without the oil, no one is prepared for the coming of the Bridegroom, the Resurrected Son of God.

The oil really cannot be bought for the oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. He is the one who imparts the free gift of salvation to all believers. It is wise to wait on Him and foolish to do otherwise.

How God Saved an UN -Churched Atheist

24 Sunday Sep 2017

The apostle Paul wrote the Ephesians and explained that all sinners are dead in their trespasses and sins.(Ephesians 2:1-9)

So if when we are sinners we are dead, how can we save ourselves by making a decision to “accept Jesus?”

This morning, I had a dream about a former enemy. In the dream, she was attacking me on all levels. I recalled all her old beefs with me, as they were made perfectly clear while I was still in the dreaming state of consciousness. HOwever, immediately upon awakening, I realized the futility of my enemy’s dream state attack. Foe even though she is alive in the spirit, in her body she is dead. COnsequently, this former enemy is truly “former” as she has been dead for about ten years now. 

So when I look back to March 29, 1977, at around 4 pm on a Monday, I did not make a choice as there was no spiritual decision that I was capable of making as a vocal, seriously determined atheist who had never been to church in 33 years. I was dead in my trespasses and sins. 

Yet in a split second, I was no longer an atheist. How did that happen? 

 I had been convicted of sin a few hours before. Nevertheless, I did not know what was going on until I read the bible days and even months later. 

I had grieving over the sin that was revealed to me and I called a friend o seek help to stop the grief . While on the phone, the sorrow that had begun over myself , in a split second, it turned to the Lord. I blurted out “I am crying for what they did to Jesus. ” These words shocked me as if spoken by someone else. 

Yet I did not get even a few seconds of opportunity to question that shocking confession when suddenly, a light bulb turns on in my head with a powerful thought. Pam, EVERYTHING YOU HEARD ABOUT JESUS IS TRUE.

What had I heard which I mocked and laughed at for decades had been gleaned through the holiday messages and deMille movies—that Jesus Christ died for my sins and that He is alive!

 I found myself in a state of absolute shock. Faith was dropped into me like a coin into a slot machine.I started to travail like a woman about to give birth. I saw in a vision a hand of light going into my chest area. I travailed with groans for about 3or 4 times.

Then, boom. Unspeakable joy. THE BABY WAS DELIVERED. I felt like I had literally just been born. I had no past. All burdens of sin removed, forgiven, washed and cleansed. Tears of sorrow turned to joy. Think of what you do when your team wins in a game. Multiply that by 100 and that was me.

As stated, this phenomenal experience occurred while I was on the phone with a non-Christian friend, Vivian. It started when she asked me to explain to her the reason why I could not stop weeping. Once the rebirth took place, I suppose I dropped the phone and she remained on the line. So while I was rejoicing, I picked up the phone again, and Vivian spoke. “you have just given birth to your new spirit in Christ Jesus. Go run a tub of water and baptize yourself in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.”

A few months later, Vivian did not remember any of this while it has been vividly planted in MY mind for 40 years. 

MY point?  

I was dead in trespasses and sins. I was an atheist who had never been to church. No one gave me a tract. NO one invited me to their church. I turned off Billy Graham before I could hear his sermon. In fact, my ability to make a choice for Christ was overpowered by strong unbelief. I did not choose Christ.  

HE CHOSE ME!!!

When did He choose me? 

HE CHOSE ME AT THE SAME TIME HE CHOSE ALL OF HIS ELECT. ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS 1:4,5. The Lord chose me before the foundation of the world, according to the good pleasure of HIS will, And not mine!

A STORY OF MY JOURNEY FROM RELIGION, TO THE OCCULT, TO CHRIST:

leavingthechurch

Immersed in religion and church most of my life, I had NEVER heard the true Gospel, until June 26, 2012, delivered by Pastor Pam Sheppard. After being out of the institutional church for quite some time, I found Pastor Pam online, and was impacted by her interest in wanting me to have the truth, as well as the way she took the time to care about me and offer help for my transition out of religiosity and charismatic witchcraft.

No one else I knew who was in out-of-church ministry was doing this… I noticed various fruitless works of those who constantly bash the IC, yet offered no real solutions on how to move forward. I also had concerns about my salvation because even though I had a lot of Bible knowledge, I was NOT AT ALL impacted by the cross and resurrection….Being saved was all about ME getting into heaven. There was no Godly sorrow, no faith in the power of the cross and bodily resurrection. No faith=No Power.

Therefore, I was so grateful to finally hear the gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time. When Pastor Pam preaches and teaches the truth, she make sense of things. After watching the video, False Conversions 2, I finally GOT IT, and I was impacted by the Gospel of Jesus Christ like never before!!! I remember prior to this experience being “stuck” at repentance. I realized that in spite of my religious training through church attendance for decades, that I was not changed. While on a religious treadmill, I continued to search for the truth in different churches, but I could never find it… not until I STOPPED going to church and started my journey to truth.

While attending church , I ignorantly submitted myself to the enemy to follow the occult. thinking that my answers were perhaps there. The occult made me feel good and special, and was not boring like church, and so I had begun to put my faith in it…particularly because I had trouble accepting my life circumstances, and years later, my mother’s death. So connecting with Pastor Pam was especially beneficial to me because of her own former occult background. Once she showed me how all of those things that “appeared to be good” were actually of the devil, she also helped me denounce the occult.

Pastor Pam also helped me feel comfortable because she is relatable. Pastor Pam did not pass judgment on me because I claimed to be a “Christian” yet I also practiced the occult. She is the ONLY pastor I ever felt comfortable opening up to about my New Age involvement. She took time to educate me about ways the enemy uses the occult to trick people, and it wasn’t long after that, that I began to see for myself that the occult was not the answer. So the institutional church didn’t have the truth I needed, nor did the occult. I was left to just me…bare and naked before the Lord…which is right where he wanted me.

After being exposed to so many different denominations and types of churches most of my life, after being duped by the occult, and after being so confused about my salvation, all I wanted was the TRUTH. And through meeting Pastor Pam and becoming born again, I HAVE TRUTH!!!!!! NOT UNTIL PAM PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO ME ON THAT VIDEO ON JUNE 26, 2012. I stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning, watching her videos, and then the Holy Spirit did His work in me. It was like being transformed into a marvelous new thing that I had been waiting for all of my life, but just could never experience in the IC.

The fog has lifted! The blinders have been removed! The wool is no longer covering my eyes! I find myself on the other side of the looking-glass.

I am a founding member of RESCUE FELLOWSHIP ONLINE where Pam Sheppard has been my pastor for 5 years now. , I can NEVER go back to my religious past, knowing that I now live in truth…in reality. I am no longer asleep, under the enemy’s spell on the counterfeit side of the looking-glass. No more religion and no more false doctrines. No deception from the occult. No more confusion. I simply worship the Lord in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. I’ve got the REAL DEAL TODAY, and it feels so GOOD!!!!!!
